The Glynwood Hospital Accounts department doesnt exist
i was admitted for an emergency on 03.05. had to pay R2700 before i could see a doctor, since i dont have savings available on my medical aid. Overall Hospital experience was great. then the account part comes. i was discharged 8.05 already, have been battling a week just to get the hospital invoice to be able to try and claim the R2700 back from GAP cover. No one, answers the phone in accounts for the last week. Friday i was told the lady left early. today i have been trying since 10 am, now 11:11 no one answers, switchboard cant transfer the call to any supervisor, manager, financial manager no one, you just need to hang with it and wait until someone is willing to answer the phone to get help. i would love to know, if the accounts people claim anything back, if they also get to battle like patients do. keeping in mind, if we dont pay our medical aids, they will not pay the hospitals, if the hospitals dont get paid, they dont have jobs, the accounts department is just as important as the whole hospital. all the good that was done is now null and void due to bad service, so sad.....

So my wife arrives at the hospital as she started bleeding as we recently found out she’s pregnant
So my wife arrives at the hospital as she started bleeding as we recently found out she’s pregnant. She took herself straight to the emergencies and I was in the middle of Johannesburg then had to travel to Randburg by the time I did my necessary collections and got to the hospital she still hadn’t seen a doctor. With that said that’s now a 2 hour window. Don’t get me wrong the staff are very friendly and polite just your security would’ve ended up in a body bag by trying to prevent me from seeing my wife. With this now being said she’s been here since before 11am as I’m writing this it’s now 6:38pm and only now has the gynaecologist managed to see her. This is her very first pregnancy as we’ve been struggling to have children. And to receive this form of “prompt” service and I can guarantee this is going to put a massive dent in my medical aid. I am very unsatisfied with the quality of service and the process of actually getting someone to see my wife.

Life Glynnwood Hospital not a good experience
Medical aid claims rejected because they do not submit the claims for the doctors and blood work on the correct dates. It is mission impossible to get hold of the case manager to assist. Was also not treated well by nursing staff. Unfortunately a Discovery Keycare patient does not have a choice of hospitals.

Attitude from Dr's
I don't know how to adress this but i need to get things of my mind. No respect for patients nor their visitors. Certain things being done without concent and they only showed the attitude of doing the patient and the family a favour. I will be making a appoinment with case manager and will let my mind & heart speak for them self. But this hospital i will not recommend to anyone worst experience we had as a family

Money making scheme!
Over the last two years I have used the Glynnwood Hospital numerous times without any complaints. However, the treatment received at the ER Department was substandard and a waist of not only time, but money. The Doctor insisted on doing a Costly Brain CT Scan even though I said it won't indicate that there is a problem with my Brain Shunt. She told me to go see my Neurologist or Neurosurgeon in 2026, despite all the pain and discomfort I am in. She gave me a prescription for medication that I have tried before that doesn't work. High Intercranial Pressure of the Cerebrospinal Fluid around the Brain causes severe headaches, nausea, earache and problems with your eyes. It needs to be drained surgically by a Lumbar Punch or Replacing the Brain Shunt.

Once again harassed by Life The Glynnwood Hospital!!
One night in February 2024, after my 75-year-old mother found me collapsed in my bedroom and calls an ER24 Ambulance, I get rushed to the Emergency Unit of Life the Glynnwood Hospital in Benoni, in a complete catatonic state. My 75-year-old, AND chronically ill, mother packs my IDENTITY DOCUMENT as well as my BESTMED PACE1 MEDICAL AID MEMBERSHIP CARD with ALL my DETAILS together with a few other essentials. I am non-responsive, unable to talk, can't walk, or even move my extremities!! Then an inhumanely rude foreign ER doctor and the nursusing staff call my mother and tell her that I am being uncooperative!! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO COOPERATE IF I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME, I AM ****ING CATATONIC!!! The staff moves me around from one unit to another and even to the hospital (Glynnview) across the road, all the time with my having suffered a suspected stroke, having cardiac fibrillation and severe cardiopulmonary distress, have bilateral pulmonary thromboemboli (diagnosied by using my ****ing out-patient day-to-day benefits to do a a contrast CT scan) and fractured ribs!! BUT, OH, THE ****ING PARAMEDIC "DIAGNOSED" ME WITH AN ANXIETY ATTACK, so I must be a CRAZY psych patient nneding to be admitted to Bush Willow Ward in Glynnview Psych Hospital!! Oh, no, this is physiological issues, so I get "re-admitted" to the High Care Unit, still catatonic, and only after learning to walk again, holding a glass and being able to speak a few words at a time after how many days, I get transferred to the Medical Ward. ALL THIS TIME, GLYNNWOOD HOSPITAL TREATS YOU AS A PRIVATE PAYING PATIENT (WITH WHO'S ****ING PERMISSION, EXHAUSTING YOUR ****ING EXPENSIVE MEDICAL AID'S DAY-TO-DAY BENEFITS?) WHILE HAVING ALL YOUR MEDICAL SCHEME INFORMATION FOR PRE-AUTHORISATION TO ADMIT ME AS AN IN-HOSPITAL PATIENT, BUT THE CASE MANAGERS ARE SO PATHETIC AT THEIR JOBS THAT THE CORRECT CODES, ADMISSION REQUESTS AND OTHER PARAMOUNT INFORMATION IS NOT SUBMITTED TO YOUR MEDICAL AID, WHILE PAYING A LITERAL FORTUNE FOR COMPREHENSIVE COVER PER MONTH!!! After the ordeal you went through, the aftermath of everything, trying to get your life together and go forward, starting working like a slave again, you get an SMS from a computer telling you that you have been handed over because of non-payment!!! Now you expect my elderly mother or myself to go to Glynnwood Hospital to sort this out in person!! Literally *** and with who the **** exactly?? LIFE THE GLYNNWOOD HOSPITAL/ GLYNNWOOD NURSING HOME ****ED UP, BIG TIME!! I AM BEYOND LIVID AND READY TO SUE YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE!! I'm appalled at Life the Glynnwood Hospital's service!! Why did you not do your work??? I'm a veterinarian myself (working sole charge for at least 14 hours a day for 15 ****ing years already) almost all of the time and we get crucified and reported to our council if one tiny thing is incorrect. LIFE THE GLYNNWOOD IS ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC AND PROBABLY THE MOST PATHETIC HOSPITAL IN THE SOUTHRN HEMISPHERE!!! SEE THIS A A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST LIFE THE GLYNNWOOD HOSPITAL, its doctors, nursing staff, and everyone connected to Life the Glynnwood Hospital!!

Complaint regarding refund
My complaint is regarding a refund that they have not paid me. I was in their casualty department on the 17th September 2024. I paid an amount of R1500.00 in order for them to accept me at the hospital. They submitted the claim to my medical aid (GEMS) who then refunded the hospital and not me (don't understand why). After making enquiries with the Medical Aid I was eventually told I had to claim the money back from the hospital. I contacted the hospital and was told that they do have the money and would send me a refund form to complete which I did, and returned the completed document together with supporting documents to them. I phoned to confirm they had received said documents. This was on the 7th November 2024. I was told that the money would be paid to me within 7 to 10 working days. To date, I still have not received the money. I contacted them twice since then, and am now absolutely fed up. I have other expenses and R1500.00 is owed to me and this money has been sitting in the hospital's account for weeks now.
